Dehydrodiconiferyl alcohol glucosides (DCGs) are derivatives of the phenylpropanoid pathway that have been isolated from Catharansus roseus L. (Vinca rosea) crown gall tumors. Fractions containing purified DCGs have been shown previously to promote the growth of cytokinin-requiring tissues of tobacco in the absence of exogenous cytokinins. In this study, we utilized synthetic DCG isomers to con...

Duckweeds are of special interest, as they are naturally growing weeds that have the capacity to tolerate and remove toxic pollutants, including heavy metals from the environment. Studies have revealed that duckweed (Lemna minor) can tolerate and remove heavy metals from aqueous solutions. In the present study, the efficiency of L. minor in the removal of Ni and Cr individually from aqueous sol...

Vinca major L. is an evergreen perennial weed of family Apocynaceae, growing naturally in hilly areas Hazara region Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. Flowers this were collected from Khanspur, Ayubia during June 2021, shade dried and extracted pure methanol for two weeks. After filtration, the extract was analyzed by GC-MS identification possible bioactive compounds. ?-Amyrin compounds (32.49%) fol...

A number of vinca alkaloids, including vincristine, vinblastine, and vinorelbine, are currently used in cancer chemotherapy. These three vinca alkaloids interact differently with a range of solid and hematologic tumors. To test the possibility that the tubulin isotype composition is an important determinant in antineoplastic efficacy, we determined thermodynamic parameters for vinca alkaloid in...

An experiment to study the effect of inter and intra row spacing on the yielding performance of periwinkle species was conducted at Nagarjun Medicinal and Aromatic Plants Research Scheme, P. K. V., Akola (M. S.) during 1980 - 81 to 82 - 83. Three species viz., Catharanthus roseus, Catharanthus alba and Catharanthus oscillatus did not differ significantly in respect of dried foliage and root yie...

Vermicompost (VC) is a nutrient-rich material that mixed with soil, and it used in this study. Four different environments were created such as control (Soil:VC:100–0%), mix one (Soil:VC:70–30% w/w), two (Soil:VC:50–50% three (Soil:VC:40:60% well-developed roses (Vinca rosea valiant, Pelargonium peltatum, Pegasus patio) seedlings transferred to individual pots. Plant growth parameters, i.e., th...
